I scored 29,600. Yeah, I felt super smart on the first few columns and then only could check the super random ones (that I only remember from studying for the GRE) in the last few columns. Fun work-break! :)

Golly I don't know how but I got 31,000!! Who knew I was so loquacious! Haha but seriously, funambulist, come on, everyone knows that's a tightrope walker right? Is "tightrope walker" not a good enough name for it?! You should send this to your applicants to make sure they know that if they come across funambulist they're going to know what the deal is!! haha thanks for the fun afternoon distraction xx

25,200 for me. In some cases, I found myself thinking I knew a word (for example, "pastiche"), but after doing a quick Google search in a separate window to check myself, found that I'd almost had it, but not quite!

39,800 but that's because a). I'm almost 50 and b). have spent 30 years working in book publishing so have read on average 2 books a week all my life, It's all in the reading folks. So impressed by the scores of the non- native speakers here, truly an achievement. Very fun quiz.

15,640, it's a little low compared to others posted here but i wasn't surprised by that. I've been playing Luminosty games the last couple weeks and realized that my vocab needed improvement :) I must read much more often!

OMG! I did horribly! 19,800 - it says that most people with english as their native tongue fall in the 20,000-35,000 range. Oy! I'm an English major! And a blogger! I need to brush up...maybe I was too honest.

34900 - I lecture in communication and media studies, have learned some French and also read a lot (of historical novels). As others have mentioned - heaps of French-based and historic vocab that probably wouldn't even be in a standard English dictionary anymore.

I got 45,000 words and was disappointed! Finnegans Wake has that many FONTS nevermind words! I love to test tests, so did you know based on the info YOU give (EG if Rmglish is a 2nd language) AUTOMATICALLY it reduces your stat. I will always destest tests but find them funny. The school I went to was a Gifted & Talented school where it was like Ender's Game/ Wow! Lots of blog followers! Sill me over here writing a silly thesis on Joyce! You probably made money off it too. Well playws. Damn you Social Media. YouTube "Neil Sanders social medi" 11 minute clip, pretty good. Bye Blosphere. OED? Nooshere? Thanks!It's all a nonsense test to get your information! Well done. It tests NOTHING. Telepathy,

25,700, French speaker (it helps, lots of the words you don't know are from French, like tricorn or embonpoint (means you're a bit plump!), a tricorn is a hat with three sides)i couldn't remember prurient and others I know I 've learned on vocabualry.com!

28,200 woohoo! I'm South African and I think our vocab is pretty good. I have heard comments when travelling abroad that South African English is closer to the Queen's English than many other Commonwealth countries/the US. Sweet :)

How funny! I blogged only today about how annoying my child's obsession with the musical Cats is, but that's where I first encountered and learned the word "terpsachorean", so I guess I have to thank TS Eliot and Amdrew Lloyd Webber for that, if nothing else. Great quiz.

26,300 and right on the 50th percentile for my age. Was feeling a bit disappointed with that until I read the bit at the bottom saying that all of the results are in the 90th percentile of the population as a whole - "I guess it's a certain type of person who likes doing vocabulary tests on the internet"! Ha!

Such a fun quiz! I'm like you guys- Joanna, Sammie, and Rosie- I felt good until I got to the last columns...

I scored 25, 4000. Not too bad for my age, but as someone that loves to read, I thought I'd do a little better. Maybe I should read more. Or maybe it's the books I'm reading? Oh well. It was a fun mental break. :)

I'm proud of myself...I thought I was a lot rustier than the test showed. English is my second language and I havent spoken a word in like 2 years! GO MEEE....Got 19.100 :) (I need to do some more reading, i know)

Not to get all science-nerdy on a fun vocabulary-nerd exercise, but this methodology seems a little faulty, doesn't it? Seems to me this test only accurately measures what the test taker THINKS he or she knows, right? Like, maybe you THINK you know from tricorn, but then again, maybe you are wrong. Also, I don't know about anybody else, but I had a serious urge to fib and check boxes next to words I'm say 90% sure about, though 90% is not the same is knowing for sure! Seems like a multiple choice test would yield more accurate results.

All that said, fibbing and errors included, I got 25,800…time to get the book club started again:)

Thanks for the link!Scored 14,100 as a non native speaker after about 10 years of English in school and a one year stay in the US more than 10 years ago.BUT I also did the test with my son who is turning 5 in March. Since he is 2,5 years old he is going to an international school with 50% native English speaking teachers. English is his 3rd language. And I am so surprised he scored 2,660!
